Hi, I`ve found that everytime you change a password using the passwd command it will give you the message you are getting, it is just a standard warning no matter what account you are changing. It just basically says that the password you have entered is not bad, it is just not every secure. It is just the systems way of warning you of this. I read it somewhere on the internet, if i can find the site i will post the link.
